Application December 13, 1941, Serial No. 422,925 3 Claims. (01. 76-37) This invention relates to a saw re-toother and When the emery wheel I 5 Wears away the disks has for an object to provide a device of this I 6 may be removed and disks of smaller diameter character in which a thin abrasive wheel, supsubstituted therefor. ported at the sides by disks to prevent breaking A guard l9, formed preferably of sheet metal of the wheel, cuts deep rounded valleys between 5 or other suitable material, is provided with an the teeth of the saw, so that a file need only be offset arcuate upper portion 20 which overlies the used to sharpen the points of the teeth and thus emery wheel. That part 2| of the guard formwill file more saw teeth per file than ordinarily, ing the ofiset, constitutes a rest for the saw to be the deep rounded valleys between the teeth prere-toothed. The curved upper portion 20 and venting the accumulation of sawdust between 10 saw rest 2!, of the guard are provided with a slot the teeth, usually occurring in the V-shaped cuts 22, see Figures 2 and 3, through which the emery made between the teeth by ordinary taper files, wheel I5 extends. so that the saw will out much faster than con- One of the vertical Walls of the slot is provided ventional saws. with a notch 23, through which a gage tooth 24 A further object is to provide apparatus of this extends.

What is claimed is:

1. A saw re-toother comprising, a base plate, a driven arbor rotatably mounted on the base plate, a thin emery wheel secured to the arbor, reinforcing disks on each side of the emery wheel removably secured to the arbor, a guard hinged on the base plate having an ofifset portion adapted to support a saw and curved over the emery wheel, a gage member mounted on the guard for forward and backward and lateral adjustment having a tooth projecting through the guard for engaging a saw tooth, and means for rocking the guard on the hinge thereof toward and away from the emery wheel.

2. The structure as of claim 1 and in which the gage member adjustment is effected through the medium of a bracket on the guard straddling the gage member, a set screw on the bracket, a leaf spring on the guard coacting with the set screw in effecting forward and backward adjustment of the gage member, and an adjusting screw on the guard connected to the gage member and rotatable to effect lateral adjustment of the gage member.

3. The structure as of claim 1 and in which the means for rocking the guard on the hinge comprises a rod swiveled on the guard having a threaded end, a pivoted nut carried by the base plate and engaging the threaded end of the rod, and a hand wheel on the rod exposed exteriorly of the guard for rotating the rod to advance the rod endwise through the nut.
